TAMPA — If you're one of the 387 people who skipped jury duty Monday morning in Hillsborough County, be warned:

A judge is coming after you.

Struggling to seat a panel for trial, Circuit Judge Gregory Holder decided he would do something to show Monday's no-shows there are consequences for dodging duty.

He issued an "order to show cause," which will summon absentees to a hearing Nov. 4 for questioning. Those without legitimate excuses could be fined $100 or put in jail for six months for contempt of court. If Monday's absentees don't show up that day, Holder said he will issue arrest warrants.
